The LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar keeps delivering the goods!  I have been super impressed with this year’s calendar, which seems to have a heavy focus on The Empire Strikes Back (1980), specifically the Battle of Hoth that opens the film.

In case you missed it, check out “LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar – Days 1-3” from last Wednesday, 4 December 2024 to see what goodies I uncovered the first three days.

Now, on with the building!

Day 4

Day 4 of the LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar reveals a beefy battle droid! I yammer on about how his build quality feels different from other LEGO® pieces.

Day 5

The LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar keeps winning; Day 5 features the AT-AT walker from the Battle of Hoth. Super satisfying build!

Day 6

Day 6 of the LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar reveals a cool Y-Wing star fighter. Awesome!

Day 7

Day 7 of the LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar reveals… something. A droid? A traffic light? 🚦 A moisture vaporizer? I have no idea!

Fortunately, a former colleague of mine saw the video and did some digging.  It is apparently a “mini-kit,” which is from the LEGO® Star Wars™ video games.  Nice deep cut, LEGO®!

Day 8

Day 8 of the LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar featured Jabba the Hutt’s pleasure barge! It’s one of my favorite SW vehicles.  I really want the $500 version of this set, but this little mini-build will do.

Day 9

Day 9 of LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar hits the motherlode: the Millennium Falcon! Super fun build.  This calendar continues to impress me!

Day 10

It’s already the tenth day of the LEGO® Star Wars™ 2024 Advent Calendar! The enigmatic door in the top left corner concealed Ashoka, the legendary dual-wielding Jedi Knight.

So far, it’s been an amazing calendar.  What goodies await the next fourteen days?  Stay tuned!

Merry Christmas!
